Interior Water Dispenser

Professionally-Inspired Design

Humidity-Controlled Crispers

Automatic Ice Maker

Overview

This 30-inch refrigerator is an ideal solution in small kitchens that can typically only accept a top-freezer refrigerator. French doors open with a narrow door swing similar to a side-by-side refrigerator. And inside you’ll find appealing features including an interior water dispenser and a full-width pantry drawer that helps keep your fresh food organized and easy to reach.

Features

Uses sensors in the refrigerator and freezer to help ensure all your ingredients remain at the appropriate temperature for optimum taste and texture.

Provides easy access to filtered water inside the refrigerator

A bold blend of professionally-inspired styling and sleek touches for the home. This refrigerator features Satin Textured Handles with iconic KitchenAid Brand Medallions and a beautiful chrome frame.

Absorbs ethylene gas emitted by many fruits and vegetables, causing them to over ripen. By removing ethylene, the Produce Preserver helps extend freshness.

Lets you properly store foods ranging from meats to produce by allowing manual adjustment of the amount of cold air that enters the drawer.

Ensures a constant supply of ice on hand at all times for entertaining and everyday use.

Illuminates the inside of the refrigerator and freezer giving for better visibility. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED lights use less energy, are maintenance-free and never need to be replaced.

When selected, automatically adjusts the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer to the lowest setting when appropriate. This keeps the refrigerator at the ideal temperature when loading groceries, the doors are frequently opened or in higher room temperatures.

We were looking for a refridgerator that was would fit into a customized space in our kitchen and this Kitchenaid was perfect. Although a little smaller than our last fridge, the double door design makes it seem as though there is more space for all of our food. Every item has it's place and is easily accessible. The drawer-style freezer is convenient and holds plenty of items. We are so happy with the solid design that keeps food at the perfect temperature and can withstand the use of 6 people in our household.

We had a similar Kitchen Aid fridge in our last house, but it stayed when we sold the house. My wife would not have any other brand, and fortunately this model just barely fit into the fridge space we have now. The old one would have been an inch or two too tall. The only quibble we have is that the top of the door seam is a little uneven - a common problem with all the fridges we have examined. Fortunately it's not something that is very noticeable.

Let's start with the good. This refrigerator is beautiful and has features that I really like. The refrigerator portion is roomy and I love the deli drawer. The freezer is small, but the extra space in the refrigerator is worth the sacrifice.

Now for the bad. This is called a "20 cu. ft. . . .with Interior Dispense." Four days after installation, the "interior dispense" and ice maker stopped working. Four days. The ice maker then proceeded to make such a horrendous noise that I had to turn it off for fear that it would catch fire or something. Also, the vegetable crispers are a joke. They are so flimsy that I anticipate they will be broken within months.

I contacted the retailer, and they offered to ship a replacement (likely due to the rapid failure of mine). They were unable to get me this replacement until two weeks later, and said if I wanted to try to get a replacement sooner, I should contact Kitchen Aid. Kitchen Aid was very slow to respond to my email (five days), and refused to replace the lemon that I purchased. They did however offer to repair it, but if it failed within a few days, I think I would prefer a replacement. I give their customer service an F on this transaction.

Like I said, I WANT to love this refrigerator, but I received a lemon of a product and subsequent poor customer service from the manufacturer, so I simply cannot recommend this product or manufacturer to anyone. Hopefully someone at Kitchen Aid who cares about their products and customer service will read this review and address these issues before they lose more business.

I have a Kitchen Aid dishwasher, which I love, and have been looking at a Kitchen Aid microwave, but after this experience, I doubt I will ever purchase another Kitchen Aid major appliance due to this experience. The ball is in your court, Kitchen Aid. I hope you choose to do the right thing and make your customers happy. You blew this opportunity, I suggest you don't blow any more.

We made the switch to this beauty after having a side by side. LOVE the wide shelves for big items. We chose counter depth which makes this refridgerator smaller than my last one, but the space is actually perfect for us. The drawers & shelves make it easy to organize and access.

PROS: It looks very professional and fits perfect next to my counter space. The fridge and freezer work very well... I set the fridge temperature 1 degree higher than recommended because drinks were a bit too cold. The fridge doors have plenty of space for bottles, milk, etc

CONS: The freezer gets filled up very quick -- not a lot of extra room for large items. If you freeze items like a whole turkey or a large roast this might not be the freezer for you. When installing the water filter be sure to turn it a good quarter circle clockwise. I didn't turn it enough which disabled the water dispenser AND the ice maker. The front doors do not hide finger prints very well.

I picked this out 3 months ago - have never owned a French Door Fridge before was not sure if I was going to like it . So glad I decided on the style ,and of course I love the kitchen Aid brand - The quality of the brand is outstanding .Also bought a Kitchen Aid Range to match LOVE cooking on it !!!!!!! thanks for the opportunity to give my opinion !!!
